entered into partnership with her husband
in the practice of Law. She is one
of less than half dozen lady lawyers in

draw backs as we'll as many advantages not
suffered or enjoyed by her masculine part

The Shot Gun Ready.

1t was on Thanksgiving day, and Charles
A. Scherzer, an energetic farmer living
south of Peru, was husking corn in the field
while the wind sighed through his six inch
beard with sort of joyous chant, as though
to keep Charles spirit up to Thanksgiving
dinner pitch. When Mr.. Scherzer had
husked his twentieth bushel, q man drove
into the field and proposed to create Mr..
Scherzer an agent of the Pulliam Balster
Spring Company, and bored him into order
ing sample set to canvass with. In day
or two there were two heavy boxes at the
express Office for Mr.. Scherzer, and upon
mis- opening them, 10, they were found to
contain ten set Of springs. Two hurley
agents Of the company came along the next
day and attempted to enforce payment on
the ten set, but the big shot gun soon left
Mr.. Scherzer master of the situation.

Mr.. and Mrs. James Kane who were ar.
rested last week for an alleged attempt to
swindle buyers Of rattle tickets, sold by
Kane, by skipping to Chicago, had hearing
before Calvin on Monday. The evidence in
the case was wholly on the side of the pros
cution, the defense Offering nothing. The
prosecutions witnesses, Messrs Bren nan,
Daily ct al, testified to having seen Kane
selling tickets for the rattle Of a gold watch
and had seen him, accompanied by his wife,
spending his money in north side saloons on
different occasions, on one of which Mrs.
Kane danced an Irish reel. This merry.
making on the part OF couple whose plea
was starvation and eviction from an Irish
home, arouesd the suspicion Of the police,
and when Kane and his wife were discoy-
cred at e Rock Island depot with tickets
to Chicago, the circumstances pointed very
strongly to prolonged departure, without
q rattle. Whey were arrested and held un.
der bail, which they could not give. The
defendants counsel said there was no law to
prevent man from taking trip to Chicago,
If he 30 desired, and had Kane been placed
upon the stand he would have been dis
charged. As he was not he was held In
two hundred dollars bonds to the grand
jury, in default Of which he Was sent to Jail.

A large number of the members and at
tendants Of Christ church, gathered at the
Guild rooms Of the church on Tuesday
evening, to meet Rev. Edwards the new
rector. lie was very cordially receivd, and
many expressed good wishes for the success
Of his ministry here. Rector Edwards is a
young man of more than ordinary ability;
an able and forcible speaker and thinker.
lie seems to be just the right man for the
charge he has accepted for his bright, warm
energetic ways must and will win for him
many admirers and have its effect on his
parish. In his address of Sunday last, he
showed determination to teach the gospel
as it should be taught, and in this he has,
and should have the support Of all fair
minded and Conscientious churchmen.

ond in large class of applicants for admis-
sion to the bar, in the Appellate court on
Thursday, coming within q third of q mark

the marking been done with special view
to determine relative merits, he might have
stood higher. He has spent year and a
quarter of the two years course at the Chi
cago Law School, and will spend the winter
there. With good share Of common sense,a
bright intellect, and no little oratorical abil-
ity, and with his habits Of industry there is
no reason why he is not destined to shine
as legal star within the next decade. He
will locate at Chicago or in Ottawa.
